The Opportunity for Messinia.

The 3rd MESSINIA FORUM is back in full force, highlighting Messinia as a leading tourism destination and business development centre. The focus is on tourism, gastronomy, sustainable development and innovation, with the participation of key personalities and leading professionals.

Among them, Achilleas Konstantakopoulos, President of TEMES, paralympian Efthimios Kalaras and Elias Mamalakis. Leftheris Lazarou, Nikos Fotiadis, Iakovos Apergis, Myrsini Lambraki and Giorgos Tsaparas will participate in the Messinia Forum.

The MESSINIA FORUM hosts a series of important events and discussions:

Tourism development and extroversion are a key theme, with strategies to enhance Messinia's presence on the international stage. At the same time, gastronomy and cultural identity will be highlighted through unique culinary experiences, such as Lefteris Lazaros' "Food For Talk" and the revival of the Sunday Table with Ilias Mamalakis. In addition, olive oil, wine and honey tastings will take place, offering visitors an authentic tasting experience.

Success Story - Kalamatiano Handkerchief:
One of the special presentations will be on the Success Story of the Kalamatian Handkerchief. We will highlight the value of this traditional product, the need to pass on its art and look for ways in which we can link it to modern business and tourism, building its unique brand while maintaining its authenticity.

In the context of business networking, MESSINIA FORUM hosts B2B meetings and workshops, with topics related to digital business presence, export opportunities and innovation. Of particular interest are the discussions on the future of Kalamata Airport, with the participation of FRAPORT GREECE, and the development strategy of mountain tourism, through the case study of the Taygetou Plan B. At the same time, the platform www.experienceskalamata.com , which promotes the unique tourism experiences of the region, will be presented.

In addition, MESSINIA FORUM creates new business opportunities, such as the collaboration with The Mart, which is preparing the "Messinian Corner" in its new store in Kalamata. During the MESSINIA FORUM, B2B meetings will be held with representatives of The Mart, giving professionals the opportunity to strengthen their presence in the retail market and develop new partnerships.
